Standing before a Holy, Righteous, and Glorious God; what would we have the gall to ask for- this is the attitude behind answered prayer!
When this thought came to me I was struck about what we often pray for- sometimes we can be quite "self" focused in our prayers. Standing before God in all His glory; I am sure the focus would quickly drift from "self." As we stand there in awe; what would we honestly pray for? This prayer would be answered![read John 15:16 and ask yourself: what would you ask God for in His Son's name?]
This is not to say that it is wrong to have a desire for "things" [so long as the "things" are not ungodly]; just a thought to provoke consideration upon our prayers.
If our "walk," including prayer life, displays that we genuinely delight in the Lord; then God will grant the desires of our heart:
--> Psalm 37:4
4 Delight yourself also in the Lord,
And He shall give you the desires of your heart.
5 Commit your way to the Lord,
Trust also in Him,
And He shall bring it to pass. -NKJV
